A Palestinian Authority minister stated last month that Fatah and Hamas must unite in order to achieve the destruction of the state of Israel, reported Palestinian Media Watch, on Tuesday.

PA Minister of Social Affairs Majida Al-Masri called for ‘Palestinian’ unity in order "to turn to the struggle for the liberation of Palestine - all of Palestine.'"

It has been extensively proven that when the ‘Palestinians’ refer to liberating “all of Palestine,” they mean all f Israel, not merely areas outside of the Green Line.

The Palestinian Media Watch noted that the following report on the event appeared in the official PA dailly, Al Hayat, Al-Jadida, on March 9:

"The women of Palestine marked March 8 with a central rally, attended by a group of released female prisoners from the various districts of the West Bank. Participating in the events were Minister for Women's Affairs, Rabiha Dhiab; Minister of Prisoners' Affairs, Issa Karake; Minister of Social Affairs, Majida Al-Masri... and representatives from the territories occupied in 1948(e.g., Palestinian euphemism for "Israel")...

Al-Masri sharply condemned the Israel Prison Services for its violations against the [hunger striking] prisoner Shalabi... We demand of everyone to push ahead with reconciliation [between Fatah and Hamas] and to end the state of division, so that we will be able to stand against the occupation, to halt its activities against our prisoners, and to turn to the struggle for the liberation of Palestine - all of Palestine.'"
